Webxites team places 1st in inaugural AIR Houston competition
Houston, TX - Nov.5, 2004 - A team of Web designers and developers from Webxites placed 1st in the Stockcar division of the inaugural AIR Houston competition. AIR Houston is an annual Web design and development competition sponsored by Austin based Knowbility.
AIR-Houston is a unique one-day 8-hour Web design and development competition created to raise awareness about Web accessibility. During the competition teams of Web designers and developers along with non-profit organizations from the Houston area work to build new Web sites or enhance existing Web sites with the goal of making them fully accessible for people with disabilities.
The AIR programs have won national acclaim because they engage the entire community in understanding how and why to meet the technology access needs of millions of children and adults with disabilities. With more and more countries and companies beginning to make an effort to accommodate the needs of all visitors to their Web sites, Web accessibility has been thrust to the forefront of today's most vital Web usability concerns.
Two teams from Webxites competed in the inaugural AIR-Houston event held at the University of Houston on Saturday, October 16, 2004. The winning team (the A-Team) lead by Senior Web Developer Erik Fruin included Yannis Remediakis, Barbara Aquino, Jesse Perez and Ron Madriz.
The winners and competitors will be featured in a special section of the Houston Business Journal on Friday, November 5, 2004.
